Chapter 1604: Domain Ruler Great Sun Sword Master Awakens
In the passage of time, centuries came and went.
Unknowingly, another two thousand years passed.
In the past two millennia, the Xianmen Sect did not experience any great disasters. The millennium plan of Immortal Tao Industry continued to progress steadily. Projects like Heavenly Stage Cultivation Method, Eighth-stage Central Array Spirit Computer plans, and Solar System-level warships progressed steadily, and the exploration of Immortal Science and Technology never ceased.
The only slight regret is that, except for the gratifying progress speed of the eighth-stage Heavenly Person Central Array Spirit Computer, the other projects were merely 'steadily progressing' without any exaggeration. The wording in the millennial annual report of Xianmen is very precise and without any deviation.
Steady progress is only that—steady; efficiency has sharply fallen to less than one-third of what it was before the war.
Is it because Xianmen's talent withered after that brutal battle?
Has the lack of absolute trust in the Central Array Spirit Computer led to decreased research efficiency?
These are not the reasons.
After that battle, Xianmen's Void Refining and Divinity Transformation Cultivators were not much affected. After a thousand years of recuperation and recuperation, almost all middle and lower-level Xianmen cultivators have been replenished. Moreover, with the passage of time and the progress of Xianmen science and technology, the average level of talent has also risen.
Possessing a strong education system and supplemented by ascension immigrants, Xianmen's talent has not withered.
The factor of the Central Array Spirit Computer is not the reason either.
After that battle, under the leadership of Yuan in power, Xianmen strictly implemented a physical disconnection and network shutdown procedure, sealing the Central Array Spirit Computer on Uranus, only providing a small amount of Spiritual Energy to maintain its life.
Even if someone threatened billions of citizens' lives, it was useless and completely ignored.
This was the only compromise made by the Immortal Sects Political Council on this matter.
Even if the Central Array Spirit Computer poses danger again, under conditions of disconnection, the forbidden nuclear weapons buried around it will instantly turn the Central Array Spirit Computer and billions of citizens into powder, scattered like dust.
The lives of billions of citizens are important, but the entire Xianmen is more important!
Xianmen would never put itself in a self-binding and dangerous situation because of billions of citizens.
In the third year after the Central Array Spirit Computer was sealed, Xianmen reactivated the backup Central Array Spirit Computer stored in the depths of the Soulless Universe, ensuring absolute safety. It continued to stabilize the Xianmen's Mother Planet both internally and externally, maintain the operation of citizen society, and suppress and monitor all vassal civilizations outside the mother planet.
The Central Array Spirit Computer did not fail in the scientific development of the Xianmen's Immortal Path.
So why did the Xianmen's research efficiency on the Immortal Path drop to less than one-third of the efficiency before the war?
This reason is known to all top Xianmen cultivators.
The Great Sun Sword Master is missing.
As a strong being cultivated by Xianmen, this generation's Great Sun Sword Master possessed terrifying power, as well as equally formidable research abilities in the Immortal Path. His collaboration with Xianmen was not merely addition but greater than two when combined. The absence of either party would greatly reduce the Xianmen's research efficiency.
This is true of the Xianmen alone.
This is also true of the Great Sun Sword Master alone.
This kind of individual strong being's comprehensive constraints on Xianmen—from combat power to research capability—caused many politicians in Xianmen to feel anxious and worried. They thought of various methods, from military to Immortal Technology, but ultimately all were useless, instilling a deep sense of powerlessness.
However, this deadlock might change within a few thousand years.
Because Yuan may advance to the Harmonization stage.
Once he advances to the Harmonization, Xianmen's Central Group Army and Immortal Path research capability will exponentially rise, far exceeding the current levels.
This heavenly pride who led Xianmen from weakness to become the dominator of the World Community, his talent and capability would certainly not be inferior to the Ancient God Ancestor Master.
Possibly even surpassing it.
He possesses terrifying abilities in resource integration, cultivator organizational ability, military formation command ability. Under his leadership, Xianmen citizens' group coordination ability is often greatly enhanced, in both combat power and Immortal Path research capability.
If the contemporary ruler advances to the Harmonization period, Xianmen's political pattern will become extremely stable, without any underlying threats.
...
Great Sun Heavenly Pond, Sun Abyss.
This healing center, supported by an entire World Community of Immortal Path, more than ten thousand Minor Thousand Worlds and Medium Thousand Worlds.
After three thousand years of rehabilitation, absorbing countless Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasures, and inhaling infinite Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi, as well as sunlight, moonlight, and starlight, this place remains silent, like a black hole vortex without a trace of light.
This place is referred to by the outside world as the Endless Dark Sea, where no light can ever shine.
Many newly born, ignorant citizens like to come here to visit and travel, comparing this place with the Black Mist Star Sea in the center of the Ancient Divine Domain, always feeling there are many similarities.
Though there is no danger here, it even allows these mortal citizens to tour here, different from the Black Mist Star Sea.
Whenever citizens inquire about what is in the Endless Dark Sea, they are always told they have no permission to know, so they gradually give up, treating it as a natural terrain of Xianmen from ancient times.
On this day, the thick darkness of the Endless Dark Sea, as dense as ink, dissipated. The light of the sun, moon, and stars shone normally here, falling on every corner.
At the same time, a terrifyingly scorching Sword Dao pressure rose.
This is the pressure of a Domain Ruler!
Just this breath is enough to cause the Divine Soul of a Harmonization God Monarch to stiffen, making their body tremble and immobile, left to others' mercy, like an ant.
Even a Quasi-Heavenly Person would feel intense cold, with stinging pain in their Divine Soul, upon sensing this breath.
This terrifying pressure is a natural calamity to mortals and Lower Rank Cultivators, destroying Divine Souls without any malice or observation. The natural release of the pressure alone can annihilate the Divine Souls of mortals and Lower Rank Cultivators of the entire world, the doomsday is no more than this.
However, this pressure did not harm the nearby Xianmen citizens in the slightest.
The moment this pressure appeared, it was already gone, unnoticed even by most Refining Nothingness Cultivators, let alone other Xianmen citizens.
"Finally,"
"completely restored..."
In the Taiyi Changqing Original Liquid of the Great Sun Heavenly Pond, a naked young man slowly stood up.
In his gaze, runes of the rules of destruction and slaughter sprouted and rotated like two constantly rotating Immortal Path Stars, making one subconsciously suffocate, kneel, submit, daring not to have any disobedience.
This is the monarch, the sovereign of the World Community.
If born anywhere outside the Eastern Devil School, he would be supreme in heaven and earth, slaughtering the world's powerful enemies, alone suppressing the world's sects as the strongest.
However, in the place of the Eastern Devil School, the cruelty and coldness in his aura just flickered momentarily.
The destructive and slaughtering desire in his pupils gradually receded, the stellar rule rune's phenomenon vanished, restored to a calmness again, more like a student walking out of a high school after school, seeming a bit introverted and shy.
